The College of Nursing at Qassim University, in collaboration with Buraidah Central Hospital, organized an introductory meeting on the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties exam for practicing the nursing profession. This meeting was part of the college's intern students program and benefited over 130 female students, aiming to qualify them to pass the exam, which is a fundamental requirement for professional classification and registration to practice medical professions in the Kingdom.
Dr. Mustafa Boudrik, Consultant in Nursing Education at the Authority, and Dr. Khalid Al-Hajis, provided a comprehensive explanation of the importance of this exam and how to prepare for it, as well as the necessity of possessing the knowledge and ability to pass it. This is to develop the nursing profession and raise the efficiency of its workforce, in order to achieve the goals of the Kingdom's Vision 2030 and within the Authority's strategic plan, which aims to improve the efficiency of the health sector, benefiting society and patients.
It is mentioned that the University's College of Nursing was established in the academic year 2009/2010. It is the first College of Nursing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to adopt the problem-based learning curriculum, with a focus on ensuring that graduates achieve comprehensive professionalism across individuals, families, groups, and communities in order to enhance the health services provided to citizens.
